"We remember that Cao Youwen, although he is from Gongchang Mansion, was praised by the people of Shu as a Shu general and a good man."
Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more satisfied as he looked at the clear march map on the screen.
If it weren't for the fact that it was inappropriate to be in Kunning Palace, someone would have to be summoned to make a detailed copy of the painting and send it to Xu Da for detailed reference.
However, I should be able to remember it if I take a second look at it. After all, the battle between Hu Yuan and Song Dynasty was discussed with several brothers many times as a reference, and the response of the two sides' military formations has long been firmly remembered in my mind.
A sad look appeared on Queen Ma's face:
"Zhongshu was bloodbathed by Hu Yuan. Chengdu was almost completely wiped out, and the people were not spared. The Yuan official Yuan Jue remembered that 1.4 million people died in Chengdu, which was a huge disaster."
Tomorrow was silent for a moment about this number. I wanted to say that the number of 1.4 million was probably a bit distorted, but in any case there should be hundreds of thousands. In this case, there is no point in calculating a number, so he turned to But let’s talk about this general:
"It's no wonder that people in Shu still praise Cao Youwen. We in the Ming Dynasty should also praise his loyalty."
"It's a pity that my good man, if he were born at this time, would be able to go to Peking to participate in the Northern Expedition. With the help of our brave general Wu Chen of the Ming Dynasty, let Hu Yuan know our pros and cons!"
Empress Ma knew that her husband was telling the truth. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the use of troops in northern Xinjiang had never stopped.
After one expedition in three years, both sides were victorious; after two expeditions in five years, Lingbei was defeated;
This year, after three expeditions, we crossed the Yellow River and set foot on the Helan Mountains and returned victorious.
In view of this, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty seems to have the intention of launching the fourth campaign next year, plowing his courtyard and sweeping his villas. Under such circumstances, he naturally cherishes these brave men who can attack Hu Yuan with great ambition.
"If you praise loyalty, it would be best to build an ancestral hall in Jiguan Pass, where he died, to commemorate him. Shu people can see his loyalty temple when they go out of Sichuan, so they can not forget Hu Yuan's disaster." Queen Ma suggested.
Tomorrow nodded in approval:
"Just leave this matter to the governor of Hanzhong."
After that, he remembered the other two people:
"On the contrary, Zhao Yanna is a person who exaggerates and embarrasses his great responsibility, so he should be dismissed!"
"Shi Songzhi deserves to be killed! That Song Lizong didn't listen to him, so he threatened to return home in court. How can anyone be such an official?"
"In the Southern Song Dynasty, Duan Ping was defeated in Luo. It would be better for him to gain fame for nothing. He is really an evil minister!"
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang steadily, looking at the latter in confusion, and finally said "Pfft":
"Ba Ba's appearance reminds me of the time when I shouted, 'The sun and the moon will reopen in the Great Song Dynasty'."
So Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the title and started to sigh.
This voice said that Song Lizong was worried about legal issues. He thought about this word for a while and could vaguely understand its meaning, and then he remembered that he had also been worried about this at the beginning.
The idea that the sun and the moon will reopen the Great Song Dynasty is nothing new. It was originally one of the slogans of those people with lofty ideals in the former Song Dynasty.
Later, it was normal for Liu Futong and Han Shantong to use it as a slogan for the rebels. Zhu Yuanzhang also shouted it at the time. But with the death of Han Lin'er, the problem became much more complicated, which made him inevitably avoid the matter a lot. Every time he thought about it, When I got up, I felt my head hurt a bit.
What relieved this upset was a pair of hands placed on his forehead. With his eyes closed, Tomorrow listened to the Queen's slightly apologetic voice:
"I don't mention this...Besides, my husband's achievements today are not due to the power of Zhao Song."
Zhu Yuanzhang cheered up, first asked the queen to sit back down, and then said calmly:
"With today's achievements, even if we turn around and fall into the spring, Zhao Kuangyin won't be able to say anything to blame."
"That's true." Queen Ma's smile narrowed slightly:
"Quanxia Zhizhi, I'm afraid Song Taizu and Song Taizong are still unclear."
"But how Song Taizu's attitude is towards this matter, my husband may not have the opportunity to ask in person."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know why.
[During the Dinghai Incident in 1226, the Sichuan Zhizhi envoys who heard about the Mongols' arrival abandoned the five states and left in a hurry.
Cao Youwen, who had just become a Jinshi in the same year, was awarded the professor of Tianshui Army. He was meticulous in facing difficulties and went into the city alone to organize defense.
In 1230, Meng general Tuolei forcibly borrowed the road for the first time and beat Hanzhong into a state of ruin.
After watching helplessly, the Sichuan system commander once again gave up on the five levels like discarding worn shoes.
Cao You, the twelfth grandson of Cao Bin, the founding general of the Song Dynasty, was heartbroken after hearing this. He chose to spend all his wealth to recruit five thousand volunteers, and stubbornly defended Tianshui again.
By the time the Mongols marched southward in 1235, the Lizhou Forbidden Army commanded by Cao Youwen had become one of the four main forces in Sichuan.
Facing the Mongolian attack, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty performed stably as always.
Zhao Yanna, the envoy of Zhizhi, advocated abandoning Mianzhou and retreating to Da'an. After being dissuaded by Gao Jia, the magistrate of Mianzhou, he fled before the battle, causing Mianzhou to fall and Gao Jia to die for his country.
Next, it was basically Cao Youwen's performance time. First, he led his army to gallop into the field and defeated the Mongolian army that was chasing Zhao Yanna, winning the Qingye Plain.
Then he divided his troops and ordered his generals to guard Jiguan Pass and Yangping Pass, while his headquarters climbed to Xiling to command the battle formation.
First, he led his elite cavalry and shot at Yangping Pass to defeat the Mongolian army, and then accurately judged that the Mongolian army would turn to attack Jiguan Pass, so he moved his troops to fight, and attacked from both sides with the generals who had stayed in Jiguan Pass. He defeated the Mongolian army and took advantage of the victory to pursue them. , successfully regained Xianren Pass and forced Mongolia back outside the mouth of Shu.
After Kuoduan suffered a setback in his attack on Sichuan, he rested and regrouped until the autumn of the following year before making a comeback. He took three routes to attack Mianzhou, Xingqingfu, and Yinpingguan, focusing on attacking Mianzhou where Cao Youwen was located.
Although the Mongolian army was powerful, Cao Youwen had a very clear plan:
Sichuan and Shaanxi had complex terrain, and it was difficult for Mongolia to exert its military advantage. He could completely defend Mianzhou, and slowly fight with Mongolia in coordination with the Song army in Shukou, and there would definitely be a chance of victory.
However, Shu commander Zhao Yanna did not think so. He sent seven envoys with small red cards in one day to urge Cao Youwen to abandon Mianzhou and go to Shukou for defense.
From today's perspective, Cao Youwen's plan was the best solution under the disparity in military strength.
Mianzhou was the location of Wudu during the Three Kingdoms period. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack with two passes guarding one plain. The Jiguan Pass in Shukou was located on the Jinniu Road from Guangyuan to Hanzhong. The terrain was open. The only way to defend here was to get beaten. If you defend for a long time, you will lose.
However, even so, Cao Youwen still had a way. He ordered his younger brothers Cao Youwan and Cao Youliang to lead troops to Jiguanai with great fanfare.
Cao Youwen himself led 10,000 people to cross the Jialing River at night, and when the Mongolian army was fighting fiercely at Jiguanai, he rushed out in the rain, and attacked the Mongolian army with his brother and captured dozens of Mongolian camps.
The fighting spirit of both sides in this battle was quite amazing. Although the Mongolian army was attacked and the corpses were buried for 20 miles, they still fought to the death with Cao Youwen relying on the large number of soldiers.
The two sides fought to the death for a day and a night, and finally the Mongolian reinforcement Wang Shixian arrived first.
Cao Youwen lamented:
"Is this God! I have nothing to die"
After pointing to the sky and cursing, he led his troops to fight bloody battles, and his younger brothers Cao Youwan and Cao Youliang all died for their country. 】
